HA-Fabric Manager User Guide
Switch Binding can be enabled or disabled whether the switch is offline or
online.
Enabling Enterprise Fabric Mode automatically enables Switch Binding.
You cannot disable Switch Binding if Enterprise Fabric Mode is enabled.
If Enterprise Fabric Mode is enabled and the director or switch is online, you
cannot disable Switch Binding. However, if Enterprise Fabric Mode is
disabled, you can disable Fabric Binding, Switch Binding, or both.
If Enterprise Fabric Mode is enabled and the director or switch is offline, you
can disable Switch Binding which will also cause Enterprise Fabric Mode to
be disabled.
WWNs can be added to the Switch Membership List when Switch Binding is
enabled or disabled.
WWNs can only be removed from the Switch Membership List if any of the
following are true:
— The director or switch is offline.
— Switch Binding is disabled.
— The switch or device with the WWN is not connected to the director or
switch.
— Switch Binding is not enabled for the same port type as enabled for the
Connection Policy in the Switch Binding – State Change dialog box. For
example, a WWN for a switch attached to an E_Port can be removed if
Switch Binding Connection Policy was enabled to Restrict F_Ports.
— The switch or device with the WWN is connected to a port that is
blocked.
— The switch or device with the WWN is not currently connected to the
director or switch (detached node).
If the director or switch is online and Switch Binding is not enabled, all nodes
and switches attached to the director or switch are automatically added to the
Switch Membership List.
